Makhachkala Synagogue (Russian: Махачкалинская синагога; Hebrew: בית הכנסת מחצ'קלה) is the Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Ermoshkina Street, Building 111, in the city of Makhachkala in the Republic of Dagestan, in the North Caucasus of Russia.

[1] In 1862, in the city of Makhachkala, on the initiative of Joseph Pevechevich, a veteran of the Caucasian War in the Imperial Russian Army against Imam Shamil,[2] the first synagogue was built.

[2] According to various sources, before the Russian Revolution in 1917, the number of synagogues in Makhachkala varied from three[2] to seven,[1][3] but they were all confiscated by the Soviet authorities.

[2] In 1976, the city’s Jewish community bought the entire house at 111 Ermoshkina Street, paying 9,800 rubles for it.

[1] A kosher kitchen and dining room for 280 people are situated on the lower floor.

[7][8][9] On the night of December 24, 2007, anti-Semites broke the windows of the synagogue building in Makhachkala.

[10][11][12] On June 23, 2024, during an attack in Dagestan, armed militants possibly affiliated with ISIS set fire to the Makhachkala synagogue.
